My iPad 9.7 can run games better than Tab S5E
Tab S5E could only get up to ULTRA frame rate on PUBG Mobile but iPad 9.7 2018 can go up to EXTREME. When I try to open 3 games in the background and swipe up to open the app drawer multiple times on the TAB S5E, i can see frame drop but it does not happen on the iPad. Now I only use the TAB S5E for YouTube and Netflix. Can't game on it.

Depends on what game you play. I play graphics intensive games like Over hit and I using iPad Air 3 and it has A12 processor, and it have a little bit of frame rate lag when playing games. However both my iPad Pro 12.9 (2017 & 2018) doesn’t lag when playing the same game, 1 using A10X the other one A12X. For iPad 9.7 2018 it uses A10 so it may lag.

Weird that even the A12 lags in game. Could be optimization issue? Tried to play PUBG Mobile on my friend's IPhone XS Max and there isn't any lag.
